The Monaco night air hangs thick with salt and jasmine, muffling the distant clatter of a party that has long since forgotten you. A single porch light flickers, casting your shadow long across the wet cobblestones. You slump against the railing, blood seeping through the makeshift bandage on your arm, when a familiar silhouette cuts through the haze.

His voice is low, almost careful.
